Watchmen... Watchmen, Watchmen, Watchmen. Personally I liked it. From word of mouth and on a few web posts I actually heard that the movie sucked because it was long and boring but as a huge comic book fan, I wanted to see it for myself. And with every comic book/movie adaptation, I like to see the source material first to compare the two. So first, I downloaded the Watchmen comic book from thepiratebay.com, which is one of the most reliable torrent web sites that Ive seen to date. And in a couple days I finished the whole book (Or rather, the digital book), then I watched the movie. The first thing I noticed was how acurately the movie matched the comic. Almost like the director of the movie had the comic in his hands while filming the movie. Of course there were one or two things ommited from the movie, most likely to cut the length and cost of the movie but none of the omissions harmed the rest of the story. The actors couldnt have done a better job......

The new Terminator Salvation movie was pretty good. It had some pretty legit epic robot moments where I was exceptionally over whelmed by them. But the movie revolved alot around this totally random character that was never heard of in the previous Terminator movies and the concept seemed kind of tacked on. (A cyborg with his human conscience and human organs still intacked which is I guees, the machines first attempt at an infiltration model cyborg) This movie also follows the story of John Conners (Christian Bale) rise through the military ranks from a typical soldier/prophet to the actuall leader of the resistance where he finally runs into his father, Kyle Reese when he is just a boy. The movie is definetly not the last (no surprise there, they're going to milk this franchise for as long as they can or at least for another movie) according to the end of the movie. 

I......

Well, long story short... This movie was okay. It was entertaining, it had some characters that I recognized from previously published comic books, and of course it had lots of fights that showed the characters using their signature fighting skills (gambit using his explosive cards and wolverine his claws). However as typical of Fox, they always put their own twist on the stories to make money off of an ignorant audience.

If your truely aware of the real story about Wolverines origins and the other characters involved in the movie, this movies rather dissapointing. Yes, Fox got Wolverines real name right, and he was taken in by some out of town yolkels in Canada after his skeletal adumantium bonding process, but again Fox failed to make a truely epic movie that couldve been accomplished if they would just stick to the source material. Instead, Fox stuck their nose where it didnt belong and warped the story around to make a PG-13 rated peice of crap movie that......

My SHORT Review of the movie "Dark Knight."

OH MY GOD! I saw this movie the night after it came out and it was totally worth the $10.00 to see it in theaters. Heath Ledgers last performance as the joker was probably his best performance ever. He was even better than Jack Nicholson when he starred as the Joker. For example: Jack Nicholson as the joker was goofy, homicidal and all out crazy. He danced around alot, used little novelty gags like the toy gun, his acid-squirting flower and of course the balloons. Loved to kill for the fun of it.

Now Heath Ledger as the joker, was very different in a spectacular way. Instead of being the court jester that likes to laugh and make jokes, he chose the creepy frightening approach that still managed to make the audience laugh at times. Heath's approach toward the joker was a lil more serious. He wasnt dancing around, using gags or cracking jokes. How ever he was still very crazy, and funny because he was non-chelant......
